Game-Changing Smart Grid
Applications
Agenda
• What are the opportunities?
– Utility: intelligent distributed controls
– Consumer: energy savings
• Are utilities positioning themselves effectively
to take advantage of these opportunities?
• What are the hurdles and impediments?

Member, ESNA
ESNA, The Energy Service Network Association, is an association of
companies to promote the application of advanced energy management
systems, including AMR/AMM, based on the Networked Energy Services
(NES) smart grid infrastructure platform and to expand the interoperability
standard for utility networks NTA 8150. ESNA is comprised of utilities,
application designers, IT companies, hardware manufacturers and
consultants. www.esna.org

Echelon Corporation
Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) is leading the worldwide
transformation of the electricity grid into a smart, communicating
energy network, connecting utilities to their customers, enabling
networking of everyday devices, and providing customers with energy
aware homes and businesses that react to conditions on the grid.

Largest AMI- US = DTE (2.8 million hourly electric , 1.2 million daily gas, 20 K C&I)
Largest AMI – Europe = EDF( 35 million 2-channel, ½ hour electric)
Largest MDMA = IMServ (+100,000 meters/150,000 channels read daily)
Largest EMS = Wal-Mart (3,500 stores - 21,000 meters)

Opportunity: Taking the Smart
Grid Beyond the Meter
There Is An Unmet Market Need
• Today’s AMI systems are closed
• AMI systems are meter-centric, not smartgrid-centric
ESNA is Filling This Market Need
• Making available a field-proven Open Smart
Grid Protocol (OSGP)
– Proven scalability and reliability in over 2 million
smart grid devices worldwide (meters and more)
• Promoting adoption of smart grid systems
and standards built on the OSGP standard
• Providing a certification process to assure
products comply with OSGP specifications
The crisis at the edge of the grid
U.S. utilities experience peak demand just 2% of the
year…but incur 15% of their annual costs on these
days
Outages have increased by 124% in the U.S. over the past two
decades
Developing countries' share of global electricity
demand is projected to jump from 27% in
2000 to 43% in 2030
There will be 1 million EV
chargers in the US by
2015
So far the Smart Grid has focused on metering
Smart meters are about demand shifting…
We Need the Smart Grid to Go Beyond Metering
Why does the neighborhood need
to be smart?
